In reply to Buspar - Any benefits ?!, posted by zuzu80 on September 3, 2004, at 12:47:50
Hi christine.
Yes, I do find buspar to be helpful for depression, less so for anxiety.
I take in conjunction woth nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, and it helps with sleep and has virtually no side effects at my dose, which I've maintained for the past two years, 30 mg/day. I've gone off it periodically, because I take a lot of other meds too, and sometimes I've felt overwhelmed with side effects, but it has always turned out that I've felt worse when I went off it with no reduction in side effects, while that was not the case with many of the other meds.
It has no withdrawal or tolerance issues.
